Do you love turning big ideas into reality and building the systems that power unforgettable player experiences? Are you excited by the challenge of creating robust, scalable game servers that support a growing, engaged community?

Snowprint Studios is hiring a Server Developer for Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus. This is your opportunity to work with competent industry experts on a prestigious, multiple finalist and award winning* team and strategy game.

In this role, you'll be a key player in developing and operating the server-side features of Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus, focusing on game logic, infrastructure, and live operations. You’ll build player-facing features like new game modes, guild tournaments, chat, and leaderboards while tackling technical challenges such as real-time multiplayer, cheat detection, and content delivery. Working closely with designers and client developers, you’ll define APIs, structure data, and integrate third-party services to ensure smooth client-server communication.

Beyond development, you'll help optimize workflows, create tools that empower the team, and take ownership of larger features. As part of a small, agile team, you’ll work independently while contributing to shared technology across multiple live games.

• Experience operating live products, including infrastructure, build, and configuration management.

• Knowledge of cloud-based services (we use AWS) and how to optimize for scalability.

• The ability to work independently while communicating and collaborating effectively.

• A curious mindset, always looking for ways to improve and innovate through sharing ideas and constructive feedback.

• A passion for games and a drive to create the best possible player experience.

Nice to have:

• Experience with real-time multiplayer, cheat detection, or large-scale server architectures.

• Familiarity with database management and optimization for live games.

• A curiosity for learning new technologies and a drive to improve processes.

• A passion for strategy games and an understanding of player engagement mechanics.
